Shocks and braking distance

posted on 2/9/2017 4:26:22 AM

Q: How do worn shocks affect braking distance? – Harold

 

A: Dear Harold,

When your car nose dives, it takes longer to come to a complete stop. A study by the Royal Automotive Club showed that shocks working at 50% efficiency added 12 feet to the stopping distance of a car traveling 60 miles per hour – 117.8 feet versus 104.8 feet. That could be the difference between hitting and missing a hazard in the road. Visit Tire Pros of Frederick for more auto repair tips.
